EXPLANATION. 

1. The column under the word " Towjjs" contains all the 
. •/w'leg-ally coiistito'cti and incorporated in the county. 
■ 2. TlTe column \uu\ev the words " Villages, &c." contains 
\\\e villages and other places (if any) in the county, placed against 
the to-iun, -witldn the limits of -which tliey are situated. 

3. The fjiires nexi on tlie right hand of the towns show the num- 
ber of inhabitants in such towns. And where any town has (a) 
or (b) set between it and said figures, it shows that some other 
town or towns in the same county, having a similar mark on the 
vight hand, is inchukd ~i.<ith it in tlie enumeration of inhabitants. 

4. The figure 1 at the left hand of a town, villag-e, or other place 
in either column shows that to be the most considerable place 
in the county — figure 2 the next — and figure 3 the nnxt, in like 
order : — taking into consideration, as well the situation and publick 
business, as the wealth, populousness, buildings, accommoda- 
tions, and trade of such place. 

5. This mark '* [inc.]'" placed at the right hand of a village 
shows it to be incorporated and declared such by law. 

6. The o(/jer navies in the column headed "Villages, S;c." 
winch are printed \n /w//c^- letters, are the names of considerable 
compact settlements, considered and kaown by common consent 
and custom as Villages, though not declared »nch by law. 

7. COURTS, 'i'lie places where the Courts are held in each 
rountv .are designated i>y an asterisk, thvis " *," placed immedi- 
ately on the right hand of such places. 

8.' CLERKS' OFFICES of the several counties are usually 
kept at one or the other of the shire or court towns : *;^* iiul 
•where it is known they are not, the place where they are kept is 
designated by the letters •' (C. C. O.)" placed next on the right- 
hand of such place. 

y. PO.ST-OFFICES are kept at those places which have a dag- 
ger, thus "f." placed also on their right hand. 

10. Tliefgitres of tiie hhst column, on the right hand of the whole 
page, express the mnnber of miles the place against ivhich they are 
set is distant from ALBANY, the Seat of Government — reck- 
oning on the shortest, practicable travelling route .

PREFATORY REMARKS. 

ji J[^ ■ THE following- Tables and pan of tlie plan of their nvr.'uigement 
^ vere orig-inally mucle foi' my own use only. The. reitsons aiul ne» 
^^•cessity fVn- thciri, being' the same to an individnalas to t!ie puhlick, 
^V "^vill be sufficiently understood, wlien I shall have exp!a"iied, in the 
; course of tliese rcmaiks, \.\\e general use and coiivenience oFihis 

Manual. When I had partially exec\Ued my oiii4iii:d design, sev- 
eral persons wishing' for copies and sn;>-g-esting- tlic great conve- 
nience such a kind of pocket Reg-ister or verbal map, as it ■^vere, 
might be to the g-enerality of re:i(le;rs, travellers, arid men of busi- 
ness, I enlarged and improved the plan and imdertook to collect 
sufficient facts to make it full and correct. The time and p.uns 
rrcessary to be spent in doing- this, hu-,vever, liave been greater 
than was at first imagined, and the publication has consequently 
been some time delayed. 

Ihj g'rea' extent of th.is state, the number and variety of impor- 
tant posts and situations it contains, as well as the flourishing- com- 
merce, agriculture, and manufactures, whicli its rapid settlement 
has suddenly exhibited to the world, all tend to render its topo- 
grapliy not only interesting-, but very different from that of most 
other states, and difficult to be well understood even by its own 
and oldest inhabitants. The rapidity of its setl.lemeitt and im- 
provements has so far outstripped a swift Icg-islative career of mu- 
nicipal reg'ulations and of local and territorial arrangements, that 
even a thorough knowledge of all the statutes cf tliis Stiile would 
bj no means enable a person to understand all' its di »-isions and sub- 
divisions — much less to teii ivhere, or ivithin ivhat county or town, 
many of the well known and established settlements and villages 
are situated. 

Hence arises another difficulty almost peculiar to this state, 
namely, that of several places bearing- the same name; — for al- 
tliough the legislature very properly made an attempt, in 1808, to 
l^ivc ?icw names to all tliose toivi.s which had a name previously ap- 
propriaied to some other town, the remedy everi in that respect was 
not quite complete ; and aftea- all it was found that so many places 
within the limits of siuidry towns had taken and retained the name 
of the town from which some of their inhabitants have migrated or 
for -which some of them have a fondness, that we still havene'gh- 
bourhoods, scttlen^cnts, post-offices, and villag'es named several 
tiiv.es over after .okh-r towns and villages. These not being towns 
nf themselves, but wholl}' contained v.-ithhi the limits of some town 
corporate, which has (for all purposes of elections, state and coim- 
ty aliairs, assessment of taxes, maintenance of the poor, &c.) a 
distinct and different name, they remain mistered by th.e legisla- 
ture. M.iny of these villages and. places will, as population and 
wealth increase, be erected into separate tov-ras ,-* but if they should 
be permitted to retain the same names the diffi.culty v.lll rather be 
increased than obviated bv such circumstances. And, as these 



* Such has recently been tiie case with Lansingliurgh, Lyons, Colonie, Salina, Saugci'- 
ties and Xev.-Ballimo'.'o, which lia^e been talven Crom the towns of Troy, So<lus, Water- 
vliet, Onondaga, Kiiig-ston, anti (Joxsackie, unJ erected into di^iinct tsxuns by their for- 
mer villagf-uames. But Utica, Waterl'cixl, Coopeistowii, Geneva, Ogdensburgh, A- 
thens. New- Amsterlam, Aurora, Niiv-HarUbrd, Auburn, Sandybill, Setauket, Bridge- 
Hainpton, Stoney-BiTKik, Little-Falls, Ithaca, Sag-Harbour, Oswego, Pc»ekskill, Skane- 
ateles, New-Lebanon and other considerable places are all ivithin limits of and belong to 
towns o'l otlicr names— which is the reason they are not foiuid iu the returns of votes, 
tifcctors, iiiliabitawts, asessmems, valuations, &c. 



places acquired their names by common consent and usage only, it 
may with some be a matlerof doubt how fkr it might be proper for 
the legislature to interpose to do away such confusion. It is cer- 
tamly to be regretted that in nnviini^ any wew town legislatures 
havo- permitted the adoption of a name which had been already 
appropriated to any place in the United States ; for tlie towns, c\- 
lies, and vllages in one state now seem to be little else but the re- 
petition of the iimiies of another, and it has become absolutely ne- 
cessary in domg business with any safety to demsnate, in writings 
and directions, the state as well as the citv, town, or village. But 
It IS very remarkable and strange that aiiy one state should allow 
of fuo or more incorporated towns within its territory bearing the 
sam.e or nearly the same name : yet we stdl have "in this state 
" StK?nford" and " Stu;;ford,"and " Charl^ton" and " Charlton," 
as names of fow/w, besides two " Northamptons" as thev ar£ now 
frejiiently written and called hy public officers, altliough oke of them 
was evidently meant to be called " Gates," as 1 have printed it in 
the table of Genesee County. These could easily be rectii^ed in 
much the same manner as 1 have taken the liberty (under the au- 
thority of the statute originally^ incorporating the town) to alter the 
modern way of writing and printing the name of one of the Hemp- 
steads. But. without going into a total and thorough reformation. 
It will be difricult wholly to avoid the orcurrence of mistakes on 
account of the near rmwiWa^ce there is in the soimd and appear- 
ance m such names as the following :— Genesee and Geneseo ; 
Otego, Otsego, and Otisco ; Owego and Oswego ; Le Roy and 
.Le .^ay ; Cayuga and Cayuta ; riattsburgh and Prattsburgli ; and 
Cambria and Cambray— the use of which last name ought certain- 
ly to be abolished by ihc Post-Office Department, since a town 
has been incorporated by tlie name of Gouvcnetir including witliin 
Its territory this post-oflice, which might now as well be designa- 
ted by the name of Gouveneur as that oi Cambray, unless indeed 
It IS necessary to have two post-offices in that town. 

In addition to this, the names of counties liave been usurped bv 
towns situated in other counties, and the names of towns also by 
■aeiu counties— Thus, the Counties of Montgomery, Clinton, 
Courtlandt, and Sullivan were so named fl/cer' tliere'were toitms 
of the sn?ne names in the counties of Oran^ce, Dutchess, West- 
Chester, and Madison— and Sclioliaric County contains the tov^ns 
®' y^^s'^io^ and .S;oowe,. Dutchess county the toim o{ Washing- 
tm, Oneida county the roiiv; of Steuben, Sullivan counU" tlie tovin 
r.i Sockiand, Essex county the toim of Lfv.us, and Broome county 
the ftw/j of Tioga; which laiit mentioned seven towns were so 
j^amed after there were counties erected by the same names. 
There are also tlte villages o^ ycffcrson and Madison in the county 
ot Greene, aiid Washington in tiie county of Albany. That such 
coniusion of names is perplexing and troublesome not only to 
strangers and travellers in this state, but to its own citizens and 
inhabitants, I need not remark. I have heretofore noted these 
cn-cumstances to members ofthe Legislature ; and in one instance 
1 took the liberty last winter to propose, that tlie tov.m of Tioga 
being in Broome county, and having within itself the village of 
Uwego, (while on the opposite side of the creek and in the coun- 
ty ot Tioga lies the town of Owego,) should by law take the name 
ot Owe^o, and give its present name to the town (at present called 
Owego) in Tioga county. But perhaps it was dee-med fas the 



subjects of this Manual will probably be by many) too trivial and 
unimportant to occupy the attention of any one, much less that 
of the Legislature. 'So will not think, however, any one mortal 
who may, by the confusion of which 1 have been speaking, utter- 
ly lose the tUle of L.nds, the collection of a debt, the arrest of 
a run-away, goods sent by carriers, or information contained in 
letters or packets mis-sent or mis-direcled. 

This varietv and confusion of names and situations renders it 
fitrthtr 7iecessary in t!ie transaction of business to designate not on- 
ly the State, but always the County, and sometimes (wliere u vil- 
lage is meani) even the to-u-n, if the place in view be In the State 
of New- York. And to ascertain all tliis is impossible to most peo- 
])lc without the help of a Directory or Manual^ of the kir.d I liave 
r.repared. 'i'his, therefore, was the first object of my original 
Tables ; and on inspecting them and considering the plan, I found 
1 could embrace a variety' of other objects of equal convenience. 
Accordinglv I proceeded to designate by a particular viark (as 
noted in tue Explanation, page 2,) the seat of the Courts in each 
County — the places where there is any Post-Office— tiie places of 
the greatest notoriety or importance in each County — the distance 
from the Seat of Government to most of the towns— and the num- 
her of inhabitants in each county and town, &c. And I hope the 
convenience oi \\\e plan will not be found less than the iwc of tlse 
Tables : inasmuch as it presents all these facts to the eye at one 
vAw, instead of leaving them to be looked for, one by one, through 
sundry pages ; and exhibits, as it were, a geographical skcletuii 
'jftiie State by Counties. I co\dd devise no oilier plan which 
would give so much information in three times as many pages, nor 
could it in adillerent mode be obtained in thrice i.s much time. 

In addition to the above named ubjccts, 1 concluded to add ihc 
boundaries of each coimty, whicli Wf.nld show at once its relative 
situation a:' 1 .".1! 'Jie comities to Ahich it lies contiguous ; and to 
these I supc:;.iuii il li.e rivers, lakes, and slrcanis — the bays and 
harbours — the viijunlains, he. by vvhicli the natural advantages of 
each county foi- c.)iim)crce ; for navigation and other uses ui' wa- 
ter ; for air, climate, agriculture,. &c. could the more easily be 
imagined. So that with the use of a ]iagc cr half page, ajiy \>qv- 
son can in a few minutes obtain a coiisiderably minute knowledge 
of the geographical situation, topography, and civil divisions and 
settlements of any county, and in a day or two of the whole state. 

\Vhether ever so great and well digested a collection of such 
minute {per naps trifling knowledge) coidd deserve to be ])ublish- 
ed e\en in a small book, some persons may probably question. 
Certainly any one single fact in this Manual — as the exact situation 
of a certain place — whetlier there be a post-office in such or such 
u town — where the Courts in this or that county are held — wheth- 
er there be any such or such a tovjH, or whether it be only a vil' 
lage or other jilace with a distinct acquired name, &c. — seems a 
very simple thing and a trivial inquiry. But, although there is 
scarcely a citizen who will not want, twenty times a )ear, to as- 
certain some one of these facts which may be of considerable con- 
sequence at the time, yet he will seldom be able to do so till such ; 
knowledge has ceased to be to him important. And it Is not vm- 
frequently the case that these kinds of compilations (to make 
which is the business of " every body and nobody," and there- 
fore seldom undci'taken,) prove of more real ptiblick service and '• 
B2 



utility than m.iny other works which it might be both pleasant and 
rejjutuble to compose. 

Yet 1 hesitate not to risk this publication, because I deem sta- 
tistical and topographical accounts of any portion of a country of 
no inconsiderable importance, both in a iiistorical and political 
point of view. And I have observed with regret the general apa- 
thy which prevails in our country on the subject of collecting and 
embodying- facts and inforviation of this nature, while visionary 
and speculative essa} s and writings, as well on statisticks and his- 
tory, as on politicks, are sought for with so much avidity. 

The advantages wiiich the political and literary world derives 
ft'om such works as those of Sir John Sinclair, will be acknowl- 
edged by the statesman and historian at least. And tlie Tables 
of Mr. Blodget, and Mr. Coxe's " View" of the U. S. although 
7iot eitiier so full or minute as to give distinct views of particular 
states, deserve even yet more commendation than they have re- 
ceived. 

But such a mass of information as those works were designed to 
give, I have not attempted to embody in these few pages — itwould 
have destroyed my two-1'old secondary object, brevity and cheapness. 
Few of tlie tiiousand little particulars of the date of the settle- 
ment of places, the number of houses, character and occupations 
of the inhabitants, soil and productions, face of tlie country, sea- 
sons, prospects, publick buildings, schools, roads, bridges, cu- 
riosities, local commerce, manufactures, agTicullure, flocks and 
herds, wealth, he. could come within the small compass of my 
plan.* Nor has any considerable work of this particular kind ap- 
peaied in any of the States, notwitlistanding the expectations of 
Dr. Miller, expressed ten years ago in his Retrospect of the 18th 
century. But the late establishment of an Historical Societv in this 
Slate, and the exertions of the individual mentioned in the prece- 
ding^ note, will, it is confidently to be hoped, result in the collec- 
tion and publication of much statistical history relative to this 
State, indisputably the most int.-resting and important portion of 
the Union. And tiie returns of the Marshals who took the late 
census have furnished much information on the subject of Domes- 
tick Manufactures. 

But to pursue the more immediate purpose of these remarks, 
I ought perhaps to state some reasons which liave governed me in 
the further arrangement and execution of my plan. And — 

1. Tiie division into Counties was )K4. less natural than conven- 
ient. The people are lepresented by Counties in the lower branch 
of the Legislature, and not by Tcv.nsas in New-England — most 
of the publick conccrn.s, which do not come within the general 
and immediate province of the Legislature, are conducted by tlie 
Counties as separate communities — each County has a separate 
civil conun'.s'slou and list of publick officers — and therefore each 
County may (in a comparative sense) be considered as an inde- 
pendent and distim t department. Accordingiy ihis is the divl- 
sion and distinction most commonly used in speaking of the differ, 
ent jiarts of the State. 

• But all tin se anil numerous other particulars will be fully described by Mr. Spaffordy 
•whose '• Gaznfftr pfllic Suile of Nen'-Vork," soon to be published, will evhibit a. gi-eater 
jiiiiss ol' uuporiaiit hirtorical, yeogiaphical, lojio^raphieal, and statistical ijifbrmation, 
wt 11 arranged under the names ol the several towns, villages, and other places, thaft 
any -work of tUs aze erer yet puUbhed ia this country. 



2. The Jirst sub-division is into Tovjn,';, including; the Cities, 
which, for most general purposes, are considered in ihe same 
clas3 :* These towns are from 2 or 3 to 6, 8, 10, or 15 miles 
squai-e, or more, as the circumstances and settlement of their ter- 
ritory my render most proper ; and they frequently embrace villa- 
ges and other places which have in common and constant use, dif- 
ferent arid distinct names. And the number of such places is in- 
creasing. Some spot favourable for manufactures, or lor tlie trans- 
action of mercantile or other business, suddenly becomes populous ; 
and if remote from an earlier settled or more noted i)art of the 
same town i-equires a separate m-.me as much as if an imaginai-y 
line sundered it from the territory of the town. And if it did not 
require or deserve a distinct name, still so long as it has one in com- 
mon and general use and is by such name distingiushed from other 
places, it is as necessary to know ivhat and li'here such place is, as if 
it were formally named by law. And therefore where a tow'n of 
large extent has in it a village of the savie name vcith itself, as 
Johnstown, it is some times essential (and always safest) to de^ 
signate the vilbige of the same name, '\f that be tiie place intended ; 
as otherwise the pei'son or thing might be supposed to be in the 
village of Caughnawaga, or Iri some farming or other part of the 
tov^n, 6 or 8 miles distant from either. 

3. Hence the 5(cc;7;,7sub-division into " villages, &c." which in one 
column includes all the villages and other places and posts, which 
have acquired a distinct nayne. All these places are set directly a- 
gainst the town in which they are situated ; and I have distinguish- 
ed all tl\ose places which have fiom 15 to 20 houses compactly sit- 
nated, as villages, further distinguishing such of those villages as 
are incorporated as bodies ]-)olitiC'il. , In making these distinctions 
I may and most probably have omitted to designate some places in 
the newer counties as viltngcs which are considerable enough to 
deserye that name ; but these omissioiis can be but lew. And of 
other places still fewer, I believe, that could deserve to be men- 
tioned, are omitted. On the other hand, there may be a few 
names put down, which some may perhaps think should have been 

* I have prii/ied tlie names of towns and otiier places as I deemed most eon-ect after 
considerable examination and study. I have printed " Ne« -Hempstead," in Rockland 
County instead of " Hempstead" as k stands in tlie Re\ised La■^^ s, because there lieinc 
a Hemps-iead in Queens Comitv and this being- named " New-Hem pstead" in the oi> 
ginal law incorporatiiiL' it, I l>elieve the Legislature nimni it sliould he called Kpu-- 
Hempstiad. Bin with ri-spect to New-Cornwall, as there is no other Coniwallin th.* 
State, and ai it is now properly called •' Cornwall'" only, I have piinttd Jl " Cr-rirvall'' 
accordinsly. "Gates" is so jn-inted, because there beinV a Ndi-thaminon in Mo'i'tirom- 
ery, an e amination of the statutes will show that such ^\a3 "«'«»Mo be ii, name 
Courtlandt and Guilderlandt should no raoie be spelled <"oillan(l and tiildfrlMid thaii

ferred to, in the iiublications of the day or in public proceedings,* 
'ihould be located in their proper town or corjjoration — more es- 
pecially, if in or near cities and towns of great notoriety and resort. 
On this account I have put down the islands and other places in 
and near New-York, Long--lsland, the Highlands, Niagara Falls, 
&c. And liistory has rendered it important to designate the local 
situation of fortresses and other military posts which ha\e at any 
time been established in the State. 

On the whole 1 cannot but have some hope that this Manual 
will answer most of the purposes proposed. And as one collateral 
object was to exiiibit the increasing strength and importance of the 
state more fully tlian it has heretofore been done in so brief a sketch, 
the following facts are added. 

In 1731 this State contained 10 Counties and only 50,291 souls 
— in 1771, same Counties and 163,338 souls — in 17fciG (,25 years a- 
go) 12 Counties and 238,896 souls — 1791, sixteen Counties and 
3'l6,120 souls — and in 1800, thirty Counties, 305 towns (including 
3 cities) and 585,000 inhabitants. Now (1811) the State contains 
about 300 villages, of from 15 or 20, but generally from 30 or 40, 
io 600 houses ; 452 towns (including 4 cities ;) 45 Counties ; and 
(in 1810) 960,000 inhabitants ; giving- an increase of 15 Counties, 
147 towns, and 374,000 people in the last ten years ! ! And tiie 
Militia of the State regularly enrolled amounted to 102,068 in 1809., 

In Manufacture!! the late census has furnished data, for the fol- 
lowing statement.

• In the original settlement of the State various Patents, Purchases, Manors, and 
Tracts were sui-veye<l into toivnsliipi, wliieli were in most instances marked and num- 
bered in Jtanges, Allotments, &c. Some of tliese however, were dcsijsnaled by names i 
and those not yet much inhaljited retain such names, paiticularly in the " OW Military 
Tract', m Essi-x, Franklin, Clinton and .St. Lawrence Counties. These touniships or 
small tracts ol' land are all included mitliin the limits of some of the incori)orated tncni 
named iu the Tables of those Countios. This e\tensivc tcrritoi-)- iucludiug; the north 
part of Monl^merj- and Herkimer will, when settled, probably be erected into two or 
three new comities. But excepting' Oneida, and perhaps Washington, which maj' bi; 
divided iu a few years, the Counties will lor some time remain the same as at present. 
Some Tmvns, once legally consittuteil such, have however been by law reduced to the 
jurisdiction of other towns or iA\\tx names ; such were Momssania, Caughnawaga, 
Mohawk, Erie, and Frederieksburgh (Oneida Co.) the names of the two last l)VJl»g 
^iso dis«ai-UeU, But this will proljably never be tht; ewe with Coiintie*, 



are ten or twelve Rolling and Slitting- Mills in the State — the Nail, 
Hat, Paper, and Rope Factories, Furnaces, &.c. much exceed the 
mimber returned. All the Woollen Faciorics were omitted.* 
The sing-lc County of Rensselaer will this year manufacture of the 
above nrticles the value of §600,000, tlioug-h returned L.st year 
at §458,000. And many new Factories, la Onc-i.la especially, 
and in tlie Western country g'enei-ally, are just going into opera- 
tion. So liiat it may be safely affirmed that our preserit <^j;;,7;.'n/ 
value of the above named manufictures exceeds S16,0'^'0,000 ! 

Tlicre are now made annually 525,000 bushels of Salt — viz. in 
Onondaga 453,840 (though in 1800 only 42,754) ; Cayuga 54,000 ; 
Genesee 1,400 ; Seneca (at least) 25,000; and Ontario about 
8,760— total value at the \Toi-ks §147,000. In Cayuga 2,24u sktir.s 
of Si//:. — To ail which may ],^ added gGO,000 ; the value of arti- 
cles annually made by convicts in the State Prison. 

I have not sufficient data to calculate the quantity of the Ashes, 
Maple Sugar, Flour, See. made, or the Grain, Cattle, Sheep, Beef, 
Pork, &.C. raised annually, so as to make a valuation of oiu- pro- 
ducts or lands. But as the slicep returned for Dutchess were 
83,855— Albany 34,342— Cayuga 49,872— Onondaga 44,893— and 
Jefferson 20,000 — wc may conclude, judging from the ]H)pulalion, 
(exclusive of New-York Co) that the whole slate contains 
1,280,000. Dutchess contains 14,341 horses and 51,650 neat cattle, 
which in like manner (N. Y. omitted) gives 247,000 of the for- 
mer, and 886,000 of the latter ; but probably 300,000 horses and 
1,000,000 neat cattle would be nearer the true amount in the whole 
state. 

The provisions made for Roads and Bridges, besides the nume- 
rous roads and bridges authorized to be laid out, made and built, 
at the risk of individuals or expense of the counties, the state, or 
the lands benefitted therebv — are 36 Bridge Companies with 
g509,000 stock, and 135 Turnpike Companies with §7,558,000 
stock, extending their roads over a length of 4,500 miles, about 
one third of wjiich is completed. 

Tlie Capital S'ock of the several incorporated Banks is §11, 
€90,000. The Fund set apart by the State for the benefit of Com- 
mon Schools now amountsto §483,326 : 29— the last gear's reve- 
nue of which was §06,427 : 64 — besides which 314,770 Acres of 
unsokl land still bfclong to this Fund. 

T' e li.v^/uic and Expenditures of the State are, in the abstract, 
as IbiiDWs : — Lands, about 1,000,000 acres vmsold ; and State 
Funds §4,191,803 : 25 (in 1800 about §2,900,000: 00) the annual 
revenue of which is now §278,489 : 96— besides which the Re- 
celpts at the Treasury from various other sources were, for the 
year 1810, §626,042 :"88 (for 1791 §127,648 . for 18j0 §192,0:8 : 
71) — and during same time were paid out §606,323: 22 (in 1791 
Sl43,417: 64 ; and in 1800 §261,765: 03.) Estimated expenses 
for 1811, §268,366: 22. Debts which tlie State owes, besides 
some small luiliquidated demands, §880,000 (in 1800, §346,234 : 
98.) Which (exclusive of the School Fund and Land, and of the 
3,000,000 acres public lands above named) gives about §39,090, 
annual excess of revenue over expenditures, and ^permanent fund 
exceeding the public debt §3,311,803 : 25. 

• On the same page witli the Index', se\'eral of the above articles are put down in the 
proportion returned for each County. Many Counties arc tUera reUiriieit 4te!»/t as w* 
some articles, of wlutli I know they contain se\tiral.

There are established in the State two Colleges and upwards 
of forty Academies : Also, 364 Post-Offices, being more than 
l-7th of the whole (2,440) in the U. S. and 60 different Newspa- 
pers, and (in all) about 90 printing' establishments. I'he shipping 
owned in this state, in 1809, was 251,525 tons, (besides that on the 
three lakes,) being l-5th of the whole owned in the U. S. Amount 
of Exports in 1807, §26, 357, 963 ; and Revenue on Imports, 8tc. 
more than l-4lh of the whole paid in the U. S. (from l-4th to l-3d 
of which two last items is however derived from the trade of oth- 
er states ) 

In addition to the goodness of our soil and the excellence of our 
timber, we have plenty of Iron-ore, Slate, Plaister of Paris, and 
inexhaustible Salt Springs, the most valuable in the world. There 
have also been found Coal, Copper, Lead, Sulpliur, Zinc, Mt^r- 
ble, Ising-Glass, and some Silver. Our territory (containing 
55,000 square miles, of which 4 or 5000 are water,) stretches 
from the Atlantic the whole length of New-England, and spreads 
along the St. Lawrence and three great navigable Lakes. Embra- 
cing the head-waters of the Ohio, and two other large rivers 
which pass soutiierly through other States — l!»e ■ whole course 
of the best river in the U. S. and perhaps in the world — together 
With twenty other rivers navigable by boats and rafts — this State 
afiords tlie best passage in the U. S. both by land and water, from 
tide-waters to the extensive navigable Lakes of the west. There 
is not a mountain or any great unavoidable hill to pass between Al- 
bany and Lake Erie. It is the only state, too, (except at the narrow 
and N. E. extremity) which extends across the whole width of the 
U. S. terrrtory ; and the only spot on which the Atlantick and the 
Lakes ca7i be united by sloop-navigation. This peculiar situation, 
with its other advantages, renders this State highly interesting' to 
the politician, the man of business or enterprise, the emigrant, 
and the traveller. With the latter especially, the ready and safe 
conveyance up the Hudson and to Lower Canada, and the good 
roads and accommodations westward, will be additional induce- 
ments to visit a country of tills description, which moreover fur- 
nishes Mineral Waters more efficacious and valuable than the best 
medicinal Springs of Europe, and which (besides many interme- 
diate sublime natural views and objects) contains on its western 
confines the greatest natural curiosity in the world — a country in- 
terspersed (exclusive of the great waters before named) with 
more \.\\?.x\Jiftecn laki-s, from ten to forty miles in length, and nu- 
merous smaller ones, exhibiting as great an exte-it, variety, and 
beauty of inland water-scenery as all the other States together. 

Should this Manual, the'-efoie, have any tendency to render the 
present circumstances, prospects, and advantages of such a cotm- 
try more generally known ; its civil divisions and topography 
more easily understood ; or the local situation of its numerous 
villages and settlements more readily to l^e ascertained ; or shoul^ 
it in any manner prove useful or convenient in offices and counting- 
rooms — at liouses of publick entertainment and resort — on the 
route of the traveller — or in the closet of the citizen and student^ 
it will afford no inconsiderable degree of satisfuct';<,n to 

THE PROPRIETOR.
